Bel Canto Black Ex Integrated

Black EX Integrated Amplifier

The Black EX Integrated Amplifier delivers reference-level performance and flexibility, combining a high-resolution DAC, powerful dual-mono amplification, and advanced system control within a precision-machined aluminum chassis designed for pure, dynamic sound.

The Black EX Integrated amplifier is an all-in-one component designed in a custom plated high-grade aluminum chassis that combines high-level DAC performance and our custom amplification. The EX Integrated has the versatility to connect to any source with simplicity and ease, including MQA, Roon, DSD, and includes an internal programmable phono stage.

The Black EX Integrated is based on the ground-breaking ACI 600, which is a new breed of integration that maximizes synergy and optimizes performance. The input, DAC, and amplifier designs provide the most efficient signal path, and eliminate the variability and complexity of separates.

Key Features

The EX Integrated is designed to manage the complexity of all audio sources and control functions with ease and efficiency. The volume and system functions are controlled by manually pressing and rotating the control dial on the front of the unit, or by using the IR custom remote control, or with your iPhone/iPad and the custom iOS SEEK app.

Digital Processing

All source inputs are asynchronously re-clocked into the fully balanced advanced segment DAC measuring below 0.001% distortion and 126dB of dynamic range. By stripping away the source clock and using Bel Canto's custom ULN master clock circuitry we significantly reduce both jitter and distortion preserving the delicate audio signals from all sources.

Connectivity

Asynchronous ethernet connects you to the most compelling and powerful musical source available today. Bel Canto's proprietary asynchronous ethernet and USB-A inputs provide the highest level of performance for high resolution files up to 24bits at 192ks/s, MQA, and DSD64.

Additional Features

The front panel headphone jack opens up high quality sound for your favorite headphones. Plug in your headphones and the EX Integrated configures itself into a superb headphone amplifier with a high performance buffer stage that can drive down to 32 ohm.

Final Impression

The Black EX Integrated Amplifier unites precision, power, and control in one elegant chassis. Its advanced architecture preserves every musical nuance and dynamic contrast, delivering a balanced, lifelike performance that connects listener and recording with effortless clarity.
